Complexant are a band from Australia that plays a blackened form of death metal and this is a review of their 2026 album "Apex" which will be released in July as a joint effort between Bleeding Art Collective and Blood Blast Distribution.
A very dark yet heavy sound starts off the album before going into a very fast and brutal direction which also utilizes a great amount of blast beats. Vocals are mostly death metal growls mixed in with some black metal screams while melodies are also added into some of the guitar riffing at times.
Clear singing can also be heard on some of the tracks while the album also adds in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. Elements of deathcore are also added into the mid tempo sections of the music along with the faster riffing also adding in a decent amount of tremolo picking.
When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and all of the musical instruments also have a very powerful sound to them as well as the instrumental also adding in a brief use of clean playing. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover death, suffering, violence and tyranny.
In my opinion Complexant are a very decent sounding mixture of black, death metal and deathcore and if you are a fan of those musical genres, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACKS INCLUDE "No Angels Weep" "Heretical Supremacy" and "No Hope For Sanctuary". 7 out of 10.
